Did you know your life could change
Faster than you can count to three?
And when you planned your day, baby
Did you count on meeting me?
I’ve got a few more hours on this plane
To think of something better than please
And we’ve got a lifetime out in front of us, baby
To go ahead and make some memories
And if I’m wrong just tell me why
Did you think you’d spend your life
Running through your wildest dreams?
And when you reached the end of the rainbow
Was it everything it seems?
I got this feeling in the summer air
Today just ain’t no ordinary day
And I caught you stealing glances, dreamin’ how
Things will soon be going your way
And if I’m wrong just give me...
(Five minutes) I’m trying to show you, girl
(I’m with it) I’m dying to know you and
(Five minutes) is all it’s gonna take
(Five minutes) The sun is going down
(Shine with it) This moment that we found
(Five minutes) could hardly be a mistake
And if I’m wrong just tell me why
I’ve got a few more hours on this plane
To think of something better than please
And we’ve got a lifetime out in front of us baby
To go ahead and make some memories
And if I’m wrong just give me...
(Five minutes) I’m trying to show you, girl
(I’m with it) I’m dying to know you and
(Five minutes) is all it’s gonna take
(Five minutes) The sun is going down
(Shine with it) This moment that we found
(Five minutes) could hardly be a mistake
And if I’m wrong just tell give me...
(Five minutes) I’m trying to show you, girl
(I’m with it) I’m dying to know you and
(Five minutes) is all it’s gonna take
(Five minutes) The sun is going down
(Shine with it) This moment that we found
(Five minutes) could hardly be a mistake
And if I’m wrong just tell me why

Sophie

Sophie, your friends all think I’m lonely
But they don’t really know me
I guess I’ll have to work on that
I’ve found a piece of ground in this town
And I just don’t need them around
Putting labels on my back, no
The front line, your doorstep is the front line
A battlefield of land mines
Set to blow when I walk in
But lately, you’ve been calling me baby
So I can walk in safely
To let those glory days begin
And if no one looks up
They’ll never see my smiling face
And your warm embrace
When you’re standing next to me
Sophie, will you be my one and only?
I know you’ve always known me
To make the rules up as I go
All the same, I think we’re winning this game
Though we’ve never given it a name
I’ll just call it “Friend or Foe”
And if no one looks up
They’ll never see my smiling face
And your warm embrace
When you’re standing next to me
Sophie, will you be my one and only?
Sophie

Night

Night, are you here again?
Night, won’t you let me in?
I have lied here waiting
But when I lay me down to rest
It’s part of some eternal jest
Though, since you left me here, I’ve grown
I still wish I weren’t here alone
Night, can you find your way?
Night, since you couldn’t stay?
You will find me waiting
For some sign Callisto won
A chance to see her wayward son
But until then, I’ll hope you’re right
And I’ll walk with you through endless night
Night

Goodbye
02:57

Look, you got me crying on the train
You got me wishing for a time I called for mother
Hid under covers
And I know this always sounds the same
But I’ve been stuck to you like a shadow you can’t shake off
Just let me take off and run
You had me going for some time
Taking the bait and swimming fast
I felt the tension
You had my attention
And you say there’s other fish in the sea
Maybe for you but not for my undying conscience
You think it’s obnoxious
So I think now it’s time for goodbye
Needless to say, we’ve taken time
And used it to make our smiles align
But still your emotions changed on a dime
Our love was red, the world was blue
Love was impatient, now we’re through
Only one thing left to say this time
I hope you’re fine, goodbye
Needless to say, we’ve taken time
And used it to make our smiles align
But still your emotions changed on a dime
Our love was red, the world was blue
Love was impatient, now we’re through
Only one thing left to say this time
I hope you’re fine, goodbye

History Read
03:58

The time stamp on my forehead doesn’t have enough ink
It fades a little more with every thought that I think
Soak up the minutes that drip from the clock
Hush all the ticks before they start to tock
I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead
You pulled up the blankets to cover my head
I might be dreaming, or I might be dead
My heaven is fleeting, my history read
Setting a deadline, life clove you and me
But magic might happen if I cross the C
Nothing can last, but nothing is wrong
Don’t fear the past before it comes along
I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead
You pulled up the blankets to cover my head
I might be dreaming, or I might be dead
My heaven is fleeting, my history read
Time isn’t hiding, it’s just hard to find
Ours are the hours that aren’t defined
I woke up this morning with eyelids of lead
You pulled up the blankets to cover my head
I might be dreaming, or I might be dead
My heaven is fleeting, my history read
